Overlay histogram showing HAP1 wildtype (green line) and HAP1-CD81 knockout cells (red line) stained with ab23505. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)  and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab23505, 0.1µg/ml) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) presorbed (ab150117) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C.

A mouse IgG1 isotype control antibody  (ab170190) was used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody (HAP1 wildtype - black line, HAP1-CD81  knockout - grey line). Unlabelled sample was also used as a control (this line is not shown for the purpose of simplicity).

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 530/30 bandpass filter.

This antibody can also be used in HAP1 cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min under the same conditions.
